Michael Gregoritsch - Suffers injury Gregoritsch was forced off in the first half of Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Gregoritsch suffered a calf injury and is a major doubt for Thursday's Europa League game against Olympiacos and for Sunday's game against Frankfurt. His injury will likely mean a return to the starting XI for Vincenzo Grifo.

Roland Sallai - Four shots in defeat Sallai attempted four shots (none on target) and seven crosses (one acccurate) in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Sallai ranked first among his teammates for both shots and crosses, although he will be disappointed that he was unable to hit the target and that he rarely found his teammates in the box. The attacker has gone three games without an attacking return since netting on the opening day of the season.

Vincenzo Grifo - Brace of assists Grifo came off the bench and picked up two assists from four chances created, had two shots off target and attempted five crosses (four accurate) in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dortmund...

Impact Grifo replaced the injured Michael Gregoritsch in the first half and picked up his first attacking returns of the season when two of his crosses were headed in. The attacker created more chances than any other player despite only playing 62 minutes and he ranks joint first for chances created in the Bundesliga this season with 16.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Holer - Scores in defeat Holer scored once from three shots (all on target) and created one chance in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Holer netted his first of the season with a wonderfully executed back header and ranked joint first for shots on goal. He has attempted seven shots and created seven chances so far this season as he looks to better his tally of five goals and two assists from the previous campaign.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Atubolu - Concedes four Atubolu conceded four goals and made three saves in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dortmund.

Impact Atubolu got off to a great start in his first campaign in senior football when he conceded just once in the opening two games. However, he has conceded nine times in the two games since, with the defeat against Dortmund coming on the back of a 5-0 loss to Stuttgart. He will be desperate to keep a clean sheet in Sunday's game against Frankfurt.

Nicolas Hofler - Sent off against Dortmund Hofler was sent off during the second half of Saturday's game against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Hofler's red card means he will miss the Frankfurt matchup on Sep. 24, but he should be eligible to return against Augsburg on Oct. 1. This absence doesn't change his eligibility for the UEFA Europa League opener against AEK Athens on Thursday, though.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yannik Keitel - Won't play Saturday Keitel (groin) is not in the squad to face Dortmund on Saturday.

Impact Keitel didn't train Friday, so his chances of playing here were always going to be slim. His next chance to feature will come against Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa League group stage opener on Thursday.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yannik Keitel - Not training Friday Keitel (groin) didn't train Friday ahead of Saturday's clash with Dortmund, Freiburg announced.

Impact Keitel suffered a groin injury and wasn't able to take part in training Friday. It's a bad turn for the midfielder who has extremely limited time to recover before Saturday's match. Barring the injury being very minor Keitel will not be an option for the Dortmund clash.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chukwubuike Adamu - Goes full 90 Thursday Adamu (knee) played the full 90 minutes in a friendly against Karlsruhe on Thursday.

Impact Adamu getting in 90 minutes of action Thursday should clear the way for him to make his debut for Freiburg after missing the first three matches of the season. Even if cleared to play against Dortmund on Sept. 16, the forward is far from a lock for the starting XI and may have to settle for a spot on the bench.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Noah Atubolu - Concedes five against Stuttgart Atubolu had one save and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-0 loss to VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Atubolu only managed one save. He has conceded six goals in three matches and kept only one clean sheet. He is going to face a much bigger challenge against Borussia Dortmund in two weeks and needs to show massive improvement.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Holer - Starts against Stuttgart Holer (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's match against Stuttgart.

Impact Holer recovered well during the week, so it's not a major surprise to see him slotting right away into the XI. He's yet to score this season, and after racking three shots (one on target) so far, he'll aim to break the duck before the international break.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chukwubuike Adamu - Expected to play with reserves Adamu (knee) is expected to play with the second team on Saturday and then a friendly match Karlsruher SC on Thursday, confirmed manager Christian Streich.

Impact Adamu is expected to feature in two matches before making a return to the team following his knee injury. If all goes well, the forward could be ready for September 16th match against Borussia Dortmund after the international break.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Holer - Could return Saturday Holer (undisclosed) is "doing well" and could be an option for Saturday's match against Stuttgart, according to manager Christian Streich.

Impact Holer picked up a minor injury last Saturday against Werder, but he looks good and could get the start forward against Stuttgart. This comes after starting the first two matches of the season, failing to score yet while totaling three shots (one on target) thus far.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Gunter - Suffers broken arm Gunter (forearm) broke his arm during training and missed Saturday's 1-0 win over Bremen, Freiburg announced.

Impact Gunter will be out for multiple weeks with the broken forearm, though it's come at a slightly fortuitous time with the international break on deck after Saturday's trip to Stuttgart. Gunter will likely be replaced by Lukas Kubler for Saturday's clash and as long as Gunter is ruled out.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Roland Sallai - Fires three shots on goal Sallai generated four shots (three on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Sallai was a thorn in the side of the opponent, as he managed three shots on target on a total of four tries and also accounted for a chance created in the match. Although he could not finish the job, Sallai helped set the tone for Freiburg, before being subbed out in the 61st minute. Sallai is now up to a total of five shots on goal across two games and could be on pace for a productive year, if he can keep the same energy that he has already demonstrated early this season.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Weisshaupt - Assists on lone goal Weisshaupt assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Werder Bremen.

Impact After entering the match as a sub in the 84th minute, Weisshaupt helped give Freiburg the boost they needed, as he assisted on an attempt and tried a shot of his own, before setting up the winning goal on a cross to Maximilian Philipp in the 96th minute. With the assist, Weisshaupt has already tied his career high and will likely set a new personal record in his third season in the Bundesliga.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Philipp - Scores winning goal in extra time Philipp scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win against Werder Bremen.

Impact In his first appearance for Freiburg, Philipp emerged as the hero by burying a goal in the 96th minute of action, which put his side ahead and secured their second straight win to kick off the season. Philipp tallied just one goal in 15 appearances last season at Werder Bremen but is already off to a hot start and could be on pace for a standout year with his new squad.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Atubolu - Keeps clean sheet in win Atubolu recorded one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Atubolu came up with a major save in the 92nd minute, which allowed his squad to hang on for their second consecutive win to start the season. Just minutes after his save, SC Freiburg managed to get on the attack bury one of their own, which was enough to walk away with the victory. Up next for Atubolu and SC Freiburg is an encounter with VFB Stuttgart, who have earned a win and a draw, so far.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Holer - Picks up injury Saturday Holer departed Saturday's game against Werder Bremen in the second half with an undisclosed injury.

Impact It remains to be seen how serious the injury will be, but losing Holer over an extended period of time would be a blow for Freiburg since he netted five goals and added two assists during the 2022-23 Bundesliga season.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maximilian Philipp - Signs with Freiburg Philipp has completed a move from Wolfsburg to Freiburg, his new club announced.

Impact Philipp made 15 appearances (three starts) on loan at Werder Bremen during the 2022-23 season, and as expected, he leaves Wolfsburg once again. He'll hope to earn a bigger role in Freiburg, and he can be deployed in several roles in central midfield.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Hofler - Suspension over Hofler has served his two-match ban that carried over from last season and will be eligible to face Werder Bremen on Saturday.

Impact Hofler started all 39 of his appearances in the Bundesliga and Europa League last season, so he figures to be a lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI on Saturday. With Hofler back in action, Merlin Rohl figures to find himself relegated to a spot on the bench.
